I reluctantly disabled all government alerts on my phone a few years ago because despite theoretically having multiple levels of importance (minor alerts, major alerts, critical alerts), apparently they weren't categorizing the alerts when they sent them out so I kept receiving all alerts, even minor ones and alerts for things happening far from where I live, and to make matters worse they overrode do not disturb. Hopefully they've improved the system by now, but I haven't thought to check until this conversation thread.

Let me guess... Amber Alerts in Canada being sent as the "presidential alert" which bypasses everything on your phone and wakes you up at 3AM? Goddamn Alert Ready is a mess.
